Hi Justin/Al
 
Taking zinc is a great idea - even if it does not affect you sting
counts. Zinc defficiency is prevalent in the us (some say up to 60%
of the population) - zinc does not stay in your system for long -
hence you can be zinc defficient in the morning, but OK after supper
etc - varying energy levels.
 
Zinc is very important in fat metabolism - I would geuss it is
therefore important in repairing sting damage as bee phospholipases
disolve fats damaging cells etc. More efficient fat metabolism, more
efficient repair.
 
Zinc is directly related to male sex drive - more zinc more sex
drive. So hey - both types of ladies may like a guy or hate a guy
depending on zinc intake! : )
 
Keep well
